Hold the phone.....
I am using my K3 with an AL80A...basic amp with the same relay as many of the other Amertrons use. I have seen no issues at all. Also, you might look at this little gimmick that might help you out here.... This is the URL http://www.k6xx.com/radio/fastrely.html Also, I think on W8JI's web site he has done some work with these types of relays and "bends" them be quicker. If I remember right. Now, I am going to install a Vacuum Relay in my amp....not because I am worried about the switching time...I had the loud CLUNK when the amp fires off. I hate that! I got a great deal on a Vacuum relay off of Ebay for 55 bucks (new) and then use a DPDT relay for the input and bias control.

If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine? _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
